The boxes of food that Love A Child delivers to the suffering throughout Haiti are more than simple meals; they are a means of survival, reprieves from suffering, and beacons of hope. Entire villages celebrate with joy when we come bearing food, women of all ages walk several miles to secure a box of sustenance,...
Back in the 70’s, there was a belief that went around in Christian circles that said, “Don’t ask God twice! If you ask the Lord more than once, it means you don’t believe.” We never believed that for a moment. Jesus told a story in Luke 18:1-8, about the unjust judge and the widow woman....
I don’t know how he can manage a smile with everything he has been through! Jackson is in dialysis each evening, all night long. He is on a diet that is strict, none of us reading this could stay on it! We found Jackson in the mountains in one of the villages where we had...
After seven days of non-stop rain, while distributing tents to families living in leaking, wet, thatched houses, children came from everywhere--they hadn't eaten in days. With only food for a handful of hungry families, Hubert and the Love A Child team went back to Anse-a-Veau and returned with food to feed 113 very hungry children!...

Sherry has been wrapping presents for our orphans the last few days! Next week, after our Love A Child board meeting, we'll be taking the presents into Haiti.

The first time I saw Mackenson, we were in a Mobile Medical Clinic far away in the mountains. An elderly farmer came in, carrying a toddler; when I looked at his swollen face, belly, and entire body, I knew he had malnutrition, and he had “the worst kind.” I asked his father what he was...
In Haiti, there are different levels of poverty, and God has given Love A Child the honor of finding the most destitute and hurting to bring them hope and deliverance, both in the natural and the spiritual. Hidden in the quiet hills of the south in an area called “in the Bamboo” is the Leonard...
“How big is God?” Sometimes we pray about a great need, and then, we doubt that God can do it! We all know that God is great, and we say that He can do anything. But then we begin to think, and before long, we have convinced ourselves that either “God can’t do it” or...
Wilguens (Jacque) is now 11 and very intelligent for his age. He is different than the other boys. He is “quiet” and “thinks things through!” Wilguens and sister, Fabiola, were both brought to our orphanage by their father. When Wilguens’ mother died, it was difficult for their father to care for them. He took the...
